OPAL for Self-Consistent Start-to-End Simulation of Undulator-Based Facilities | |

||
The Object Oriented Parallel Accelerator Library (OPAL), a parallel open source tool for charged-particle optics is augmented with a new flavor OPAL-FEL. With OPAL-FEL we solve the electromagnetic potential equations in free-space for radiating particles propagating along an undulator using an FDTD/PIC scheme. We present results of two benchmark [1] studies where OPAL-FEL simulations are compared to experimental results. Both experiments are about electron beamlines where the longitudinal phase space is modulated with a short magnetic wiggler. To our knowledge, this is the only beam dynamics model that allows a start-to-end simulation of FELs, in a fully 3D fashion including radiation.
